For the SOS challenge, I chose to use the sketch from the TST challenge. I white embossed the poinsettia image on water-colour paper and then smooshed the CP inks (where I got overlap from the green it’s giving a bit of an orange hue), then I cut out the shapes to match the sketch, added some black to mount each piece and then assembled them all onto the white card base with some dimensionals behind the circle bit.

I gold embossed the poinsettia image on water-colour paper and then smooshed the CP inks, then I stamped, embossed and cut out the sentiment banner and then assembled them all onto the white card base with some dimensionals behind the circle sentiment.

What lovely cards, Tristan. I especially like the way you’ve used the sketch challenge for the first card and cleverly spotlighted a portion of the lovely Poinsettia image with the circle. The white embossing really is effective with those “smooshed” colours. I love the way it looks so much like a watercoloured image. Stunning, really. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

These cards are beautiful, love the way you interpreted the sketch on the first one, it really draws your eye to this lovely Poinsettia.
Thank you for sharing with us at SHOPPING OUR STASH, hope you play again soon.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.

what a beautiful & amazing pair of holiday cards, i could not possibly choose a favorite, though i’m kind of bound to say the first one is particularly cool b/c of your fabulous take on the sketch, right? thanks for SHOPPING YOUR STASH with us this week! 🙂
